>Description:
I have pkgsrc in /home/pkgsrc/pkgsrc, but I build binary packages in a pkg_comp chroot. I installed pkgfind (pkgtools/pkgfind) from my binary package built inside pkg_comp. The results are:
$ pkgfind wmnet
pkgfind: /usr/pkgsrc: No such file or directory
Isn't there a better way to determine where pkgsrc is during runtime?
>How-To-Repeat:
Build pkgfind binary package in a chroot with a different pkgsrc path than outside the chroot. Install the binary package outside the chroot. Try to use the newly installed pkgfind.
>Fix:
None.
